Ready-to-use potting soil for pond plants

A unique blend of Arcillite & Zeolite with natural active ingredient

Does not cloud water or clog filter

API Pond (formerly PondCare) Aquatic Plant Media is a clean, dry and easy-to-use planting media and is specially formulated and recommended for all potted aquatic plants such as water lilies, lotus, and iris, as well as bog plants. Securely holds the plants in the pot and won't cloud the water or clog pumps and filters. It will not float or cloud the pond water when plants are moved, fertilized, or disturbed by fish. Many potting soils contain a combination of sand, composted organic matter, peat moss, vermiculite, and even fertilizer and wetting agents. Using these types of solids in the pond can lead to disastrous results, including loose fluffy soil floating in the water, and added fertilizers leaching into the water and stimulating algae growth.

Note: Potted plants need to be divided and repotted every one to two years to keep the plants vigorous and blooming.

Directions: Aquatic Plant Media should be fully saturated with water for ease of use. Pour Aquatic Plant Media into a clean bucket and fully cover the granules with water. Prepare the pot for Aquatic Plant Media by covering any holes with a piece of nylon screen, or weed barrier material to keep the media from leaking out. Add about 3 inches of pre-soaked Aquatic Plant Media into bottom of pot or basket. To promote lush plant growth, we recommend adding API Aquatic Plant Tabs, a pond plant fertilizer, as Aquatic Plant Media is not a fertilizer. Arrange the plant roots into the pot and gently cover roots with media and fill the pot to about 1" from the rim. Top off with decorative stones. Slowly lower the pot into the pond. There will be some trapped air in the soil. It will bubble out as the plant is lowered into the water.

Great for pond plants

Re-potted all the plants in my existing pond before moving them to a larger pond. Media does not cloud pond and was easy to use.

The best media for your pond plants

By Tim from Tampa, FL

On July 25, 2010:

I really like this product because it is the best type of medium for my pond plants. With the hard winter we had last year, I needed to re-pot some of my lily plants, well I made the mistake of using a different type of soil medium & just like the product description says I had a real disaster. The pots tipped over, and really made a mess of the pond water. I will always use Pond Care brands from now on.
